It's rather depressing reading their blogs, as they post them up there.

"If you are infected with #conficker, just go do Windows Update."

Right, secboy, how on earth are they supposed to *get* to Windows Update?

(It's almost as depressing as reading the "trend" and seeing what Twitter is really 
used for: endlessly copying the same blogs, InfoWorld reports, "I've got a Mac" 
jokes, and general ignorance.)
